Jeff Santana seeks 3rd term on county council

Jeff Santana has filed his candidacy for a 3rd term for La Porte County Council At Large. Santana stated he has been very emphatic and passionate in saving all the taxpayers money. “By the way, I, too, am a taxpayer and watch the spending of dollars closely. I could list numerous accomplishments that the council has made during my first 2 terms, but in doing so I could fill up a whole newspaper page.”

The Michigan City Fire Department retiree after 28 years said his retirement “has allowed me to have the time for the position and a way to continue to serve and give back to the people of La Porte County.

“I’m a people person who loves the interaction with others and enjoys problem solving when called upon,” Santana said. “I receive lots of calls from citizens when they are having problems and don’t know where to turn when they are dealing with county issues. We have a great group of employees and department heads in the county who, when called upon by me, get whatever the task at hand investigated and resolved.

Santana continued, “This is truly a position that I take to heart and I will continue to work, represent and be all the taxpayers’ voices in La Porte County government!

Santana said the future of La Porte County is now, and with the 2 newly elected mayors in our 2 largest cities, progress is coming and there are going to be some exciting times in the upcoming years!

“I have never been labeled a ‘rubber stamp’ and will continue to work with all officials regardless of their political affiliation. I have and will continue to be accessible to all residents and kindly ask for your support in the upcoming May 5, 2020, primary election!
